Installation problems.

I just did a complete reinstall of Win2k (aded all patches and SPs). I also
re-installed Office 2000 Small Biz. Clean install, no error messages,
everytihing was installed to run off the computer.

Everytime I start an office application, I get an installation progress
message that goes away after a minute or so ("please wait while office
installes the needed components"). This happens when I start Word or Excel.
It happens if I am logged in as Admin or user.

What went wrong? Any suggestions how I can fix it?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Should I be posting this on a different group?

Have you re-arranged your start menu or anything, I find MSN Messenger does
the same if I giggle with my start menu? I dunno if Office has the same
approach, with it being a MS App?

Nope. The fanciest I got was to put shortcuts on the desktop.

This machine is for work so, I try to keep it as simple as possible. No
games, no "preformance tweaks", etc.
